Looks like Chelsea got another piece of ref aid..
Like not getting 2 solid penalties?The one we got was not a penalty but the ref missed two.

Anyway we're winter champions,although that's not saying much.By the time ManU's squad is back on form we will miss essential players to the African Cup..

Looks like Chelsea got another piece of ref aid, even so a very creditable result for the Hammers. Thank heavens that the title race is staying alive.

I haven't seen it yet, listening on the radio was funny though "he steps up...scores!...wait he has to retake it...steps up...scores!...wait no another retake!...steps up and this time scores!" :rofl:

I didn't see the game either, but most of the pundits that covered it for the BBC thought it was a poor decision, but then I guess diving for penalties is just something that is part of the DNA of the Chelsea team now. Still, your boys produced a great result here, and that shouldn't be overlooked.

It was far from a dive, just a tacke that the linesman gave as a foul

At least that's one scenario. One that's being peddled elsewhere is that the American owners are considering jilting Ben?tez and enticing Martin O'Neill to replace him. Quite why they think O'Neill would go to Anfield in the current circumstances is not clear.

Anyone else heard abt this? I always knew City would fire Hughes.. he's not good enf to manage a top-4 wannabe club.. rumours about Benitez about to get the axe are becoming more and more common..

you know I still think Liverpool will stick by Rafa as much as the results aren't amazing, the owners know what could happen if they did fire him plus I saw something on BBC the other day where they spoke to fans outside Anfield and at least 90% are sticking by Rafa.

Garry Cook, the chief executive of Manchester City, has sparked fury at Anfield by claiming that Liverpool approached Roberto Mancini with a view to the Italian replacing Rafael Ben?tez as manager.

Cook?s latest controversial comments have landed him in hot water with the Liverpool hierarchy, who have refused to comment. Privately, however, they have not been impressed by his outburst

Seems they really are thinking of replacing Rafa..

Looks to me more like Man City are trying to spark as much unrest as possible to destabilise the club even more, as a rival for the 4th CL spot. I don't really believe it, Liverpool's owners know how damaging sacking Rafa would be to them right now

Serious question here and not to stir it up but what would happen IF Wolves were to win on Boxing day?

I know that alot of fans are blaming the yanks but I've also seen some Liverpool actually say they want rid of Rafa.

On that note.. my cousin is a 'Pool fan and he said to me.. Rafa has won what he could and done what he could.. time for Liverpool to move on.. I feel its more of a financial issue as Rafa couldn't sign the players he really wanted.. but yeah some 'Pool fans are blaming Rafa..

Wouldn't surprise me if Wolves do beat us, everyone else seems to be at the moment.

The question is not whether rafa should go, is there really anyone else that could do a better job at this moment in time.

Yet another catastrophic December for us...

If only Man Utd weren't following in your footsteps, we're playing utter turd as well just now.

Although I really really really do expect a win against Wolves.

Liverpool were very very lucky today, the game turned when the ref (You was bloody crap by the way) sent off Ward even though there were near enough no touch to who ever went down (Dive). Also why is it whenever Wolves touched any Liverpool players the card was out yet Steven Gerrard did 2 worse tackles and he doesn't get a card? Are refs not allowed to book him or something?

Lets face it you wasn't going to beat us with 11 players so you had to get 1 of ours sent off that was evident when all the Liverpool players (including Reina who had run 80 yards up pitch) surrounded the ref (correct me if im wrong but isn't that meant to be a bookable offence these days?).

Gerrard's goal was also in fact a foul on Milijas. Don't believe me then look at photo evidence: Fouling Git :crazy:

Football is a contact sport. If you seriously think that was a foul, you should consider watching netball.

To be honest, you just sound bitter to me but the fact is that football is about putting the ball in the net. We did, you didn't, we won.

Get over it.

I suppose you think a double footed lunge (which Gerrard did btw) isn't a sending off offence or stamping on someone's ankle well after the ball has been played. As for your contact sport remark lets remember that next time you complain about getting kicked all over the pitch.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
